I have the table below, in LyX. How can I add text that hugs the bottom line and I want it to be very small text, smaller than the font in the table.
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c c c c c}
\hline
& \multicolumn{2}{c}{Model 1}&\multicolumn{2}{c}{Model 2}&\multicolumn{2}{c}{Model 3}\\
\hline
\hline
Variable 1 & 12.758 & *** & 13.822 & *** & 2.123 & ***\\
\hline
\fontsize{4}{4} \selectfont Blah Blah Blah and * $p \le 0.05$, ** $p \le 0.01$, *** $p \le 0.001$.
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
This works but there is white space between table end and footnote

Always supply a complete, compilable document.
If you really want to use
\texit
, you have to load\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
in your preamble so that the<
will render correctly. Or you can just put the whole thing in math environment and use\mathit
instead.Here is one method.
However, I don't like how the asterisks are separated from the p-values so I suggest that you eliminate some columns. This is what I did in the next method with the use of
threepartable
package. (There is also athreeparttablex
package.)Update
I have included
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.5}
inside a scope to make the effect local. I have replaced\footnotesize
with\tiny
but it's up to you if you want to resort to a smaller font size. (Just a caution: be kind to your eyes. :)
